Programming for USB ConnectionThe RealScan 7883 Scanner must be properly programmed when using the USB Dongleconnection to the host terminal. This programming depends on the type of hostterminal being used.

RS-232 Communications

The RealScan 7883 Scanner must be programmed for RS-232 communications protocoland some of the RS-232 parameters must be set to specific values. Other parametersmay be set as required by the host terminal. Set the required program parameters byscanning the following sequence of programming tags. These must be the first tagsscanned after supplying power to the unit.

1. Default – sets all parameters to standard default values.2. Programming Mode – puts scanner in base programming state.3. Hex 1, Hex 0, Hex E, Hex 0 – sets the required RS-232 programming parameters.

• RS-232 communications protocol• 9600 baud• Odd parity• 1 stop bit, 7-bit character

4. Change any other parameters as required by the host terminal.5. Save and Reset – saves the program just entered and resets the scanner.

The host terminal software may now be configured to use the communication portassigned by the IO Network driver when the Dongle Adapter Cable was plugged intothe USB port.

IBM Communications

The host terminal should assign the port and associate the scanner with the applicationwhen the USB connection is made. When programming a RealScan 7883 for IBM USBcommunications, all parameters are set to the standard default values, and thecommunications protocol is set to IBM USB. This is accomplished by scanning thefollowing sequence of programming tags. These must be the first tags scanned aftersupplying power to the unit.

1. Default - sets all parameters to standard default values.2. Programming Mode tag - puts scanner in base programming state.3. Hex 1, Hex 0, Hex D - sets the communication protocol to IBM USB.4. Hex 4, Hex 8, Hex 5 – turns off configuration message processing.5. Change any other parameters as required by the host terminal.6. Save and Reset - saves the program just entered and resets the RealScan 7883

Scanner.

Reduced Space SymbologyReduced Space Symbology (RSS) permits more data to be recorded in a smallerphysical space. This is accomplished by encoding the data in large symbol charactersrather than encoding each data character separately. Also, no quiet zone is requiredaround the symbols. The RealScan 7883 can read four types of RSS bar codes.

RSS14

RSS-14 is a linear symbology that encodes 14 UCC/EAN digits. This structureprovides four segments that can be scanned and decoded separately, thenreconstructed. The total symbol contains 96 modules combined into 46 elements (barsand spaces).

192540100012345678905

RSS-14 Stacked

RSS-14 Stacked is a 2-row format. The bottom row is higher than the top row and thetwo are separated with a separator pattern. The stacked format is used when notenough linear space is available. A typical use is marking produce in a grocery store.

19255

Enabling RSS1. Turn on the circuit breaker to the RealScan 7883.2. Enable the Reduced Space Symbology feature by scanning the following sequence

of programming tags. These must be the first tags scanned after applying power tothe unit.• Programming Mode - Puts the RealScan 7883 in the Programming Mode.• Hex 1, Hex 8, Hex A, Hex 3.• Save and Reset - Saves the parameter setting.

Disabling RSS1. Turn on the circuit breaker to the RealScan 7883.2. Enable the Reduced Space Symbology feature by scanning the following sequence

of programming tags. These must be the first tags scanned after applying power tothe unit.• Programming Mode - Puts the RealScan 7883 in the Programming Mode.• Hex 1, Hex 8, Hex A, Hex 0.• Save and Reset - Saves the parameter setting.

Making Other Program ChangesIf you still need to make program changes after setting the communication parameters,you can enter information directly from the Programming Worksheets. TheProgramming Worksheets, located at the back of this book, identify all the availableprogram parameters. Each worksheet relates to a specific programming mode. Mostprogramming options have defaults, identified by a heavy box, that are determined atthe factory. Scanning the Default tag as the first tag after applying power to theRealScan 7883 sets the parameters to these values.

Changing the RealScan 7883 program is accomplished by scanning the propersequence of programming tags, which are included with the unit. Following are threemajor steps for making program changes.

1. Enter the Base Programming State by scanning the Programming Mode tag as thefirst tag after applying power to the RealScan 7883.

2. Select a Programming Worksheet and enter its parameter data by scanning theappropriate Hex tags.

3. Save the program by scanning the Save and Reset tag.

Note: In most instances the factory determined defaults are the correct parametersetting. However, if you do need to make changes, it is recommended that you first setall parameters to default values, then make any necessary changes to the appropriateparameters.

Operating the Scanner

The NCR RealScan 7883 is a fixed position device that is not handled or moved by theoperator during operation. It is maintained and serviced by trained service personnelonly. The operator has no access to any laser module components.

The RealScan 7883 does not have a power switch. However, you turn it on and off byusing the circuit breaker switch, located in the checkstand, that supplies power to theunit. Be sure this switch is in the On position.

The Red Indicator is on when the RealScan 7883 is ready. When the scanner reads a barcode, the Red Indicator turns off and the Green Indicator turns on. Nothing happens ifthe bar code is not read. The correct way to do pass-by scanning is to just slide the itempast the scan window without lifting the item. With presentation scanning, you lift theitem, move it straight toward the scan window, then bring the item back away fromthe scanner.

Cleaning the Scanner

Keeping the scan windows clean helps keep the read rate exceptionally high. Duringnormal operation the scan windows get dirty, and if you permit the dirt to accumulate,performance degrades to the point where the scanner cannot read bar codes. Use a softcloth to clean the scan windows, using a common, non-abrasive, liquid windowcleaner. Be sure to spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the scanner.

Correcting Scanner Problems

When the RealScan 7883 is first turned on, several diagnostic tests are run to check thestatus of various components. If a failure occurs, a series of beeps and flashes of theGreen Status Indicator identify it. The number of beeps (flashes) identifies the problem.The problem indication is repeated continuously with a 3-second pause between eachindication series. Following the first problem indication, the beeps are turned off andonly the Green Status Indicator flashes to identify the problem.

If the diagnostics identify a problem, you must have the scanner repaired. Refer toObtaining Technical Assistance on page 3. Although several conditions can be identified,following are the most common.
